Chapter 60 - Barley (1/2)

Ch60 - Barley

The distance between the Little Brook Tribe and the Green Hill Tribe was smaller than the distance between the Big Bear Tribe and the Green Hill Tribe, but it still required a few days to complete the journey.

Xiong Ye understood this. He knew that it was impossible to hide from the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe, who were occupying the Green Hill Tribe’s territory, forever, but because it would still take them a few days to journey over, the time they were taking to rest right now didn’t matter much in the long run. This was why he had proposed bathing. As for catching fish… He felt a little uncomfortable seeing all those fish swimming in front of him without trying to catch them.

Only, catching fish in his human form was a little troublesome… Xiong Ye turned back into a brown bear and soon caught several fish.

The reason why the Little Brook Tribe was called the Little Brook Tribe was because their tribe was situated next to a brook. Many small fish swam here and there in the water.

The people of the Little Brook Tribe would also catch fish to eat, but most of them weren’t good at fishing. They couldn’t help but admire Xiong Ye when they saw him catch so many fish so easily.

As for Xiong Qi… Xiong Qi had come back to his senses by now and started praising him again, “Xiong Ye, the speed at which you catch fish is so fast! And you were so impressive just now! That Hu Tiao said he was going to kill you, but you ended up slapping him to death in one hit!”

Before, Xiong Qi had thought that releasing the people of the Little Brook Tribe was already enough. He hadn’t thought that Xiong Ye would actually come up with the idea of ambushing the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe and even manage to successfully take them all down in one fell swoop.

He had suffered some minor wounds in the battle earlier, but his heart felt indescribably refreshed. His lingering depression from the Giant Tiger Tribe’s unprovoked attack last time, when he had led the team to trade for salt, had also dissipated.

“Very impressive indeed.” Bao Cheng wanted to build a good relationship with Xiong Ye, so he immediately echoed Xiong Qi and complimented him as well. He even pointed to a woman and said, “Xiong Ye, this is the most beautiful woman in our tribe. She can serve you well!”

The woman that Bao Cheng was pointing to was truly very beautiful. Even though she had suffered some hardships when the Giant Tiger Tribe had taken over the Little Brook Tribe, she was still very attractive. She was standing naked in the brook, and at this moment, she straightened her chest, resulting in many of the men present being unable to move their eyes away.

However, nobody dared to try anything. This woman’s animal form was also a leopard. Earlier when they had fought with the Giant Tiger Tribe, she had been the first to rush out, biting one of them to death before they even had time to transform into their animal forms.

At the moment, she still had a wound on her chest that had been left behind from the previous battle.

“No need.” Xiong Ye said.

“Xiong Ye already has a mate.” Xiong Qi spoke up.

“Mate?” Bao Cheng was puzzled.

“Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji have formed a mated pair with the Beast God as witness. They will be together forever.” Xiong Qi explained.

“There is such a thing?” Bao Cheng was in a daze.

“Is there nothing like that in your tribe?” Xiong Qi asked.

The Little Brook Tribe really didn’t have anything like that in their tribe. They didn’t even have a priest.

Xiong Qi chatted with them and suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

And there was no doubt that the Little Brook Tribe didn’t understand the concept of mates, because the woman who Bao Cheng had pointed out then asked, “I don’t want to become your mate. I just want to have a baby with you. Can’t I?”

“No. I already have a mate.” Xiong Ye unhesitatingly refused.

The woman’s name was Bao Yu. Seeing that Xiong Ye had refused, she could only say helplessly, “Alright… Your mate must be a very beautiful woman.”

Xiong Ye soon showed up in front of them.

“Zhou Ji, I caught you some fish.” Xiong Ye said.

“How come you were gone for so long?” Zhou Ji asked.

“We did some things…” Xiong Ye was a little proud.

“Zhou Ji, Xiong Ye led us to kill everyone from the Giant Tiger Tribe… Xiong Ye was truly extremely amazing!” Xiong Qi spoke for him.

Xiong Ye, who had originally wanted to tell Zhou Ji about his achievements himself, “……”

“You guys are also people from the Big Bear Tribe?” Bao Cheng asked.

“Yes.” Zhou Ji looked at Bao Cheng and his group.

The people that Xiong Ye had taken with him from the salt team were all quite powerful fighters. Although many of them now had wounds on their bodies, they weren’t severe. On the other hand, these people from the Little Brook Tribe all had new injuries on top of their old ones, and they were all quite heavily injured. Amongst them, there were a few who were already on the verge of death.

They were already like that, but these people still went to take a bath… Weren’t they worried that their wounds would become infected?

“We really have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you guys, perhaps nobody from the Little Brook Tribe would have been able to live on.” Bao Cheng said.

“This is something Xiong Ye did. It’s enough for you to thank Xiong Ye.” Zhou Ji said, then suggested, “You guys should treat your wounds.”

“Treat?” The people of the Little Brook Tribe didn’t understand.

“These are healing herbs. You can apply them to your wounds.”

“Healing herbs?” The people of the Little Brook Tribe were even more confused.

Zhou Ji suddenly realized that this tribe was even more primitive than the Big Bear Tribe. Speaking of which, if the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t had picked up a priest for free so many years ago, their lives would definitely be worse off than they were now.

Although the old priest didn’t know very much, he was already considered very knowledgeable in this place.

Zhou Ji brought out some herbs and told the people of the Little Brook Tribe chew them up before applying them to their wounds. He also took out a pot and boiled some herbs together, telling the injured to each drink one bowl.

The things he cooked looked a bit like poison, but the people of the Little Brook Tribe believed in the Big Bear Tribe and weren’t suspicious at all. They accepted the medicine and drank it all down.
